Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals Samba OG is a classic, low-profile trainer designed for adults who value heritage aesthetic and versatile daily comfort. Originally engineered for the football pitch, this silhouette has become a staple of modern street style, offering a durable leather construction and iconic gum rubber soles. While the shoe provides excellent everyday durability and style, users should note that as a heritage design, it features a flatter sole profile that may lack the advanced arch support found in modern high-performance athletic sneakers.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Samba OG generally fits true to size, though the profile is slightly narrow.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are fashion trainers and do not provide the cushioning or support required for running.
What is the best way to keep the white/cream details clean?
Use a gentle shoe cleaner specifically for sneakers and wipe the details carefully with a soft microfiber cloth.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are generally glued down; removing them may damage the interior lining of the shoe.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather is durable, the suede overlays can absorb water and stain. It is best to avoid heavy rain or treat the suede with a water-repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy wear
Use a leather conditioner specifically formulated for smooth leather to restore shine and prevent cracking.
Suede overlays appearing matted or dirty
Use a suede brush or a dry crepe eraser to lift the nap and remove surface dust.
Shoe feels too tight initially
The leather upper will naturally stretch slightly with consistent use. Avoid using shoe stretchers which can distort the classic shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Samba OG trainers last, start by wearing them in for short periods to allow the leather to adapt to your specific foot shape. Compatibility is high, as the neutral black and cream colour scheme coordinates with most wardrobes. For care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede panels. For the leather sections, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical solvents, as these can damage the adhesive holding the gum sole and degrade the leather quality. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
